Hi Antoinette, (01)
You can try UNESCO online thesaurus, which deals with various
multidisciplinary disciplines like education, culture, natural sciences,
social and human sciences, communication and information, etc. The URL is:
http://databases.unesco.org/thesaurus/ (02)
Hope you find the synonyms you are looking for. (03)

> with others, and power need to control) as well as affect (happy -
> positive, sad/frustrated - negative), event attribution (causality -
> pride, positive self-esteem, luck, surprise, Deity; control/capability
> by others - luck, surprise/pity, shame; self - anger, guilt; stability
> - fleeting, transient and eternal, infinite; and values: morality,
> truthfulness, dominance (authority, leadership, influence), aggression
> (fighting struggle, punish, victory), suffering (opression), freedom
> (choice, self-determination), justice (equality, fairness), tolerance,
> revenge, and laws/lawfulness.

> I am interested in synonyms for all of the words above, and if you have
